I am a 65 year old male living in Canada.
Drs have told me to loose 50 lbs .Present weight 230 lbs. Beginning to connect health issues to weight . From prostrate to knee problems and every Dr says loose the weight and you loose the problems.
Have started to walk at 240 lbs and seen improvement with loss of 10 lbs with diet and the daily walk.
Still need self motivation to keep on going.
Good luck with you weight loss on here, you have chose a great site to joined for help and advice from people and don't be afraid to ask any questions as everyone is really friendly and helpful here. You should also here from an administrator soon too. Good luck with your journey. All the best!
Thank you for the encouragement. Every little bit helps to get me moving.
Morning Jarowalk

Why not come along and join in with today weigh in.
Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side or at the bottom if your on a mobile. Have a look at the nhs 12 week plan, many members have had success following this plan. Use the BMI checker to work out your daily calorie allowance. Take your measurements at the start together with a photo so you can see the changes on the days the scales don't move.
Below the Pinned posts are the Topics where members share a range of weight related subjects.
Have a look at the Daily Diary which you can find on the Home page in Events. It is where all the members are sharing their daily plans on what they are eating and any exercise they are doing. This thread will give you some ideas on how to start.
